| - I stopped by this place after a cross country flight to try one thing and one thing only: the Philly Cheese Steak Spring Rolls. I've heard a few regular Vegas visitors rave about them. So I was on a quest to find out just how special they could possibly be.
Located inside the new and hip Cosmopolitan, Holstein's contains a bar area as well as a fair amount of table seating. Grabbing a quick lunch before a meeting, I headed towards a bar space where I noticed the server cleaning up after someone who had just left. After I sat down, another server came up to me and said "Oh no, sir, there's someone sitting there and he'll be right back."
Looking at the clear space, I asked "Then why did they just clear all his stuff away?"
Before he could answer, I moved farther down the bar and picked another spot. During the rest of my visit, that "man" never came back to his "spot." No apologies or anything. So that was a little rude.
I spied the rolls on the menu and ordered them. When they arrived I knew right away that these were not your average spring rolls. They were quite large. And very good, too. Just picture the best Philly cheese steak you ever had all wrapped up into a perfectly fried spring roll. Then triple that in size. Now you have it.
They were outstanding and I'll be back again someday for more. They are also very filling, even though they're on the appetizer menu. So you could easily make this a meal.
This place has a little to learn about customer service, but the food lives up to expectations. And after you're done, step outside to your left and get your shoes shined. It's totally worth it. Just trust me.
